Graduate Study. The Graduate Group in Computer
Science offers programs of study leading to the
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science. The
varied nature of the faculty brings a wide variety of
research interests to the program. Research strengths
lie in algorithms, computational biology, computer
architecture, computer graphics and visualization,
database systems, computer security and cryptography,
computer networks, program specifications and
verification, programming languages and compilers,
parallel and distributed systems, scientific computation,
and software engineering. Interdisciplinary research
in computer science is encouraged.
Preparation. Normal preparation for the program
is a bachelor's degree in either computer science or
in a closely related field (such as electrical engineering
or mathematics, with substantial course work in
computer science). Applications are also considered
from students with outstanding records in other disciplines.
M.S. students may either complete a thesis or
pass a comprehensive examination. Ph.D. students
must pass a qualifying oral examination and complete
a dissertation demonstrating original research
in an area approved by the Graduate Group.
